RMKS/1. In the past few weeks, I have been reminded of the incredible talent
and commitment to service from the Department of the Navys (DONs) civilian
employees. Each and every day, there are more than 200,000 men and women in
about 500 different civilian occupations around the globe, performing
valuable work to advance our mission and protect our nations freedoms
alongside our Sailors and Marines. Amid an unparalleled event in our
lifetime, your dedication to serving the public good and our Navy-Marine
Corps team remains the constant that steadies the storm. You care.
2. This week, some of you will be working from home in make-shift offices,
others are in the field, shipyards, and depots operating under new safety
measures, and some are recuperating or caring for those recuperating from the
virus. Despite the challenges and obstacles, you continue to develop new
solutions for improving our services, maintaining our equipment and
infrastructure, and supporting our Navy- Marine Corps team.
3. You are an extraordinary group of men and women who took an oath of
service to our country and its people. I truly admire your tenacity and
unwavering commitment to service and the valuable work you perform. As we
begin Public Service Week (May 3-9), I want to take this opportunity to
recognize the valuable work executed by the DONs civilian employees and
express gratitude for your admirable service.
4. Released by the Honorable James E. McPherson, Acting Secretary of the
Navy.//
